Worked example
On a $100 order Fiverr keeps 20%, or $20.00, and you earn $80.00 once the order clears. The client separately pays a service fee of 5.5% ($5.50) plus $3.50 because the order is under $200, so they are charged $109.00; that fee does not come out of your $80.00. With no delivery cost, profit is $80.00.
How Fiverr fees work
Fiverr is a freelance marketplace where you list fixed-price services (Gigs) starting at $5 and clients order them directly. Writers, designers, developers, video editors, voice actors, and marketers sell there, and prices are set in US dollars no matter where you live.
The seller fee is simple: Fiverr keeps 20% and you earn 80% of the purchase amount, including Gig extras and tips. A $100 order pays you $80; a $20 tip pays you $16. There is no listing fee and no monthly fee for a basic seller account.
Clients pay a separate service fee on top of your price. Fiverr's payments article puts it at 5.5% of the purchase amount plus $3.50 on orders under $200, charged on every payment, including extras and tips. It does not reduce your 80%, but it does make your Gig look more expensive to the client: a $50 Gig costs them $56.25.
Money from a completed order sits in a 14-day clearing period (shorter for Top Rated, Seller Plus, and Fiverr Pro sellers) before you can withdraw it. Eligible freelancers can skip the wait for a 1% Early Payout fee. Withdrawals to PayPal are free; bank transfer via Payoneer costs $1 and a Payoneer account $3 per withdrawal.
- Seller service fee: 20% of the purchase amount. Fiverr's earnings page says you earn 80% of every order, including Gig extras and tips. On a $250 order you receive $200.
- Client service fee (paid by the client, not you): 5.5% of the purchase amount plus $3.50 on orders under $200, added at checkout. Every payment in an order carries its own fee, so an extra or a tip is charged separately. This is shown in the calculator for information only.
- Clearing period: funds from a completed order become available 14 days after completion. Top Rated, Seller Plus, and Fiverr Pro sellers get a shorter clearing period.
- Early Payout: eligible freelancers can skip the clearing period and get paid faster for a 1% fee on the amount paid out.
- Withdrawal fees, per withdrawal: PayPal $0 (minimum $1); bank transfer via Payoneer $1 (minimum $20); Payoneer account $3 (minimum $10). You can withdraw up to $5,000 per transaction, and your provider may apply currency conversion.
- No listing or monthly fee for a standard seller account. Optional paid programs (Promoted Gigs, Seller Plus, Fiverr Pro subscriptions) are separate and not included here.
Ways to keep more of each Fiverr sale
- Price for the 80%. If you need $100 in hand, list at $125: Fiverr takes $25 and you keep $100.
- Remember the client's fee when comparing yourself to competitors. A $95 Gig costs the client $103.73 with the 5.5% + $3.50 fee; a $100 Gig costs $109.00. Small price gaps shrink after fees.
- Withdraw to PayPal if you can. It is the only fee-free method; Payoneer bank transfers cost $1 and Payoneer accounts $3 every time you withdraw.
- Skip Early Payout unless you need the cash. Waiting 14 days keeps the full 80%; paying 1% to get $800 a week early costs $8.
- Bundle work into one order. Fiverr's 20% is the same either way, but the client pays the $3.50 small-order fee on each separate payment under $200, so one $180 order costs them less than three $60 orders.
